I started to download the torrent earlier, it's 911Mb.

I'm not sure how many sites will ftp/http host files this large, as ftp/http
are very resource hungry (from the server side) and also suffer from download
retries when primitive non-retrying clients are used.

Bittorrent is the most efficient way to deliver files this large.

Anyway, maybe someone with the capacity can host it, but when visiting
VMware's website for hundreds of VMware appliance downloads, you'll also find
they are all bittorrent only downloads.

Michael.
